Long-term disability (LTD) benefits are taxable when the employer pays the premiums, reducing an already limited benefit. In addition, employer provided LTD, even if employee paid, may not be portable. Disability income insurance coverage is generally limited to 60 percent to 70 percent of salary and typically has a monthly cap. Income may not be fully covered due to the cap. Bonuses are not counted as covered income by most LTD policies.

Income may be available from the following sources, but only for a limited time:

Accumulated sick-pay benefits.

Salary continuation benefits.

Short-term disability benefits (typically one year or less, limited amount).

Social Security pays disability benefits, but you must be considered totally disabled,
and it can be difficult to qualify for benefits.
